A family has fled back home to Mexico with their three biological children, abandoning their adopted 4-year-old son in their house with his dead toddler sister, according to law enforcement authorities. The girl's body showed signs of extreme trauma when it was found in a southern California home, said police. The children's uncle and aunt, who had adopted them, alerted relatives to go to the home after police believe they were already in Mexico, reports AP. Now they're wanted on suspicion of child endangerment. "Everything they did was for the kids," said a neighbor who believed they were loving, attentive parents.
